From Tom's Hardware: T-Mobile CEO John Legere made it known today in a blog post that the company will no longer tolerate those who "abuse" and "steal from" T-Mobile's "unlimited data" plans.
How can anyone steal data when it's supposed to be unlimited, you may ask? The core issue here is that unlimited data isn't exactly unlimited, whether we're talking about T-Mobile or some other carrier that promises the same thing.
In reality, companies have certain unspecified thresholds in their minds, and when they're passed by some customers, the action is then qualified as an "abuse" or "stealing," in a rather non-transparent way. The companies never put a number on how much is "enough" but started banning wireless users anyway because they passed the secret limit in their unlimited data plans.
However, carriers don't take the only action that can truly stop these abuses, which is ending the "unlimited" data plans that never were, and giving customers exactly as much as they think their networks will handle, whether that's 2 GB, 10 GB or 100 GB.
